    Has it reached beta2 yet?

    That’s what i’m interested in since it will finally start to fix some serious issues it’s had with CSS-specs and how it renders CSS layouts.

      I’m working on the new default content and template, btw: http://pixelhick.com/

      If anyone wants a peek on the back end, please use admin/backuplogin to get into the manager. Would love to also have other suggestions on relatively simple things to add to the default content so someone could just tweak the template and the content and have a decent site up in no time flat.

      Raymond, it also seems like there is one bug that slipped in that could be fixed for the release as well from a recent post, but I can’t recall off the top of my head.

      Also on the pixelhick.com site, when using the Quick Editor logout link, MakeURL is returning home.html intsead of index.php?id=1 and it’s causing some odd redirection issues and failing. This is a new install btw. Any ideas here?

      Any ideas on other things to patch up?

          I looked into the makeURL problem a bit. It turns out that it’s using alias names even with Friendly Aliases turned off. It looks like the 404 redirect is also using makeURL which results in an eternal loop as it continues to try to redirect to an alias it can’t find.

            By the way IE is still in beta 1 and it requires XP w/ SP2.

              I got this error when I try to login "admin/backup/login"

              That’s the 404 error I mentioned.

              Try this url http://pixelhick.com/manager and use the admin and backuplogin to get in.

              I don’t know where we’re at with searching but if the search snippet is at all presentable I think it would be good to include it in the default content. There’s no a lot to search but it’s good to show that the functionality exists.

                Hmmm,

                Well I was able to login ok. I only got the eeror when login out using QE’s logout link.

                The error was becaused URL aliases where turned off. It appears that makeURL is still processing alias even thought the option is turned off

                  Ryan,

                  The new demo site is a winner! smiley

                  Just add a PhotoGallery to that and you would have won the hearts and minds of all the not-so-technical web owners around the world.

                  PS. The green is kinda dark. Might want to lighten it up a bit. And it would be nice it the template it’s well inside a 800x600 resolution

                    It works great for IE and FF. I don’t have access to IE7 here.

                    I especially like the "open/close menu" it works really nice!

                    Opera is acting strange! The open/close menu cause the menu disappear all together I have to move the mouse up and down to look for something to click to bring the menu back.

                      Now that I have a few more look at the backend manager I have a out of the box thinking.

                      Why not have all of those:

                      Site, Content, My Account, Users, Resources, Administration, Help, 3.3 Test Site

                      to be the root of each menu tree so there would be no need to have "Open/Close Menu"

                      The whole backend will be free to you to add anything you want or dynamicaly change base on the selection of the menu tree.

                      Mambo or Joomla is moving in that direction using menu tree extensively in the backend.
